Kiara

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Kiara — a sweet and curious Husky mix with a soft heart and a love for sniffy adventures. I arrived at FOHA with my sister, Kita, and we’re hoping to find a forever home together. We’re bonded and help each other feel safe, so we’d truly thrive as a duo.

I’m the more outgoing of the two and love high-value treats (cheese is my favorite!). I may be shy when we first meet, but with patience and kindness, I warm up and begin to show you my affectionate, playful side. I love exploring on leash, sniffing all the smells, and romping around in playgroups with other friendly dogs.

I’d do best in a calm home where I can continue building my confidence with gentle people and a steady routine. Another friendly dog in the home would be a huge plus — and since I already come with a best friend (Kita!), we’ve got that part covered!

I’m so excited to meet my potential new family! To make sure we have the best first impression, I’d feel most comfortable meeting new people with one of my friends (a FOHA staff or volunteer) by my side. The best way to set up a successful meet-and-greet is by submitting an application first. Thanks for considering me!

I’m also eligible for FOHA’s Foster Forward Program, which helps long-stay animals like me experience home life and increases my chances of adoption.

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
Great! I love other dogs and absolutely adore playgroups. I’m especially bonded to my sister, Kita — we’d be happiest staying together.

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
No cats or small animals for me, please!

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I’ve done well with kids 10 and older who understand how to approach shy dogs calmly and kindly.

MY TRAINING:
I’m still learning! But I’m treat-motivated and curious, which helps.

This dog is part of FOHA’s Diamond Dog Program, which means they receive extra training support and guidance to help them succeed in a home. To learn more about the Diamond Dog Program, click here and scroll down!

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
FOHA can provide more details, but I’m tidy, routine-oriented, and make progress quickly in a predictable environment.

THINGS I LIKE:
Cheese • Quiet walks • Sniffing everything • Playing with my sister • Hanging out with dog friends

THINGS I STRUGGLE WITH:
Being separated from Kita • Fast movements or loud environments

FOHA ADOPTION POLICIES AND PROCESS:
https://foha.org/pet-adoption/adoption-policies

ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:
Spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, distemper & Bordetella), 1-month access to Petcademy for training and behavior support, slip lead leash, 1 bag of starter food, 1-month flea/tick & heartworm preventatives, diagnostic testing, and additional medical care as recommended by our vet.

My sister, Kita, is shier than I am- and I help give her confidence. We aren’t too happy when we’re separated, and we really do well when we’re together. We’d do best in a home together forever. We are GREAT in play group, so we’d be happy to join a home with other dogs!
